Nice work with the rank Brad !, keep it going.

Rabbits16 · 01/05/2018 at 15:23
solid rank.

AlbertonOval · 01/05/2018 at 17:31
Top work mate!

theRealPod · 01/05/2018 at 18:13
Nice Brad keep it up

Patch · 01/05/2018 at 20:56
Yes mate, killing it!

Lekdog · 01/05/2018 at 21:15
Killing it Brad!

Russty_ · 01/05/2018 at 01:07
4 weeks can easily turn into 6 or 8 Mr Moustache man…I'd punt his injured butt, to a high scoring player.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 09:15
that is too long to wait. trade him

Filth Wizard · 02/05/2018 at 17:02
Has a breakeven of 158 will be cheap when he returns.

Lazza · 02/05/2018 at 20:10
4 weeks was the initial prognosis – Freo are now saying 2-3 weeks and likely to come back sooner rather than later. I’m holding … but I do have issues elsewhere … like needing to trade Flog1to Flog2… and Buddy on hold too..

Patch · 01/05/2018 at 20:57
Hahah cheers mate – we'll see if it lasts. I'm still the bloke that traded Nat Fyfe to Scott Selwood in the latter stages of last year like a GOSH DARNED IDIOT MACHINE

Lekdog · 01/05/2018 at 21:15
For the record I was against that

Jeffrey · 01/05/2018 at 07:37
I would go Murray to Sicily this week with Sicily's very low B/E

Will · 01/05/2018 at 08:26
No Dickhead policy, no matter how tempting he is. He can't help himself that lad.

Dermin8r · 02/05/2018 at 06:50
I turned Murray and Coffield into Hurn and Mirra

Russty_ · 01/05/2018 at 01:05
Go for the Cheaper one Finn, which is also the one with the higher ceiling.

Rabbits16 · 01/05/2018 at 18:05
Macrae with next 2 opponents against brisbane & goldcoast

Lekdog · 01/05/2018 at 21:29
Hey Russty, we try and keep on top of things but amongst thousands of comments a day it can be hard. I actually think it has been really positive in here for the last couple of weeks, I’m loving the conversations people are having!

RobDog · 01/05/2018 at 02:39
Hi Sc_Donkey, I think you are going through your trades too quickly if you want 10 left after the byes. If you trade all three each bye that means you only have one double trade between now and the byes. If you go one up one down after Port/GC to get a Gray or Ryder, you have no other trades before the byes. 6 off a full team should have you getting pretty good scores, I would try to hold off as long as you can before any trades. Lots of injuries this year and they will take a few trades for sure, so factor that in.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 09:27
the idea is to get to full premium asap. you need to make trades to do that.
this year there are many of the keepers who have a bye in Round 14. it is very late to be bringing those fellas in after round 15, so most people will have thier round 14 bye premiums in place early and pick up the other premiums coming out of rounds 10, 12 & 13.
i would expect to be close to full premium round 13
the best indicator of how close teams are to 'Full Premium" is to look at their team value. we need to be getting close to $14mil.
most of us are still along way from $14mil. I'm around $11.8m and thinking where is the extra $2.2m coming from. gulp!

SC_Donkey · 01/05/2018 at 12:27
Been kinda lucky with my players I started with, there were few issues i had, Ryder, Kelly and Rocky. Rocky was big fail a wasted trade right there, Cox idea which was a fail due to Ryder injury and Taylor the guy is getting enough of the pill, the output just wasn't there.
Right on Derek, definitely right about trying to get full premos(keepers) asap by the bye rounds. Remaining trades we have in hand are for injuries and maybe a couple of corrective trades for players who's dropping off with their performance.

SC_Donkey · 01/05/2018 at 12:16
Tnx Dog,
I have planned and structured myself for the bye rounds, the six premos(keepers) that's needed to get to full will be even spread through the bye rounds along with rookies. Looking to get Gray after his bye to cover for the main byes, also have my eyes on Westhoff both players will come in handy.
I think all I need is 11 trades from here up to rd 12&13 to get full premos(keepers) that will leave me with 10 trades for rest of the season.

Matt English · 01/05/2018 at 08:54
I’m 7 off full premo with 25 trades left

joe · 01/05/2018 at 13:53
6 spots currently 190 rank 21 trades left need 4 backs and 2 mids hurley yeo simpson ?mids oliver crouch

joe · 01/05/2018 at 14:02
need around 18 trades at byes need to stop trading asap

SC_Sixty6 · 01/05/2018 at 14:43
No you don't. 2 or 3 years ago the overall winner ran out of trades in rd 17.

joe · 01/05/2018 at 15:25
that would be a nerve wrecking 5 weeks

Rabbits16 · 01/05/2018 at 15:25
2,098points this week lowest this season and moved down 1166 spots

joe · 01/05/2018 at 15:28
well done rabbit

Bad_News_Brown · 01/05/2018 at 20:22
20 trades left 3 players off full premo.

SC_Donkey · 01/05/2018 at 20:42
Deym! You must've got lucky, dodging all the injuries and turds.

SC_Sixty6 · 01/05/2018 at 21:01
In his eyes he is 3 premo off full premo but in terms of top 6 in their respective positions it's far from premo no doubt.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 09:29
The coach was saying on AFL360 last night that he copped a corked calf a few weeks ago that has slowed him down and that he was also a little under-done in the preseason because of the hammy. hammy is ok now.

JohnDJ59 · 01/05/2018 at 19:08
Thanks for the info Derek, I used to watch AFL360 all the time during the footy season, but canceled fox this year after 17yrs due to financial reasons.

AB13 · 03/05/2018 at 15:17
look on youtube

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 09:30
Petracca will miss this week. i read what they had to do to his finger, mate you are not playing AFL a week after that!

StevoRivo · 01/05/2018 at 09:59
Thanks Derek, thought so. Trades this week but now it’s down to who goes first?
ATM it’s in this order….
Holman, Langdon, Garlett, then Petracca.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 10:06
i havn't heard how Langdon's leg is. If he is missing a number of weeks he should go first, if only a couple of weeks, might hold him.
Garlet has to go if not named. Somehow i think he will get a game.
Holman has fattened up and should be chopped, but only if you need the cash this week, if you don't need cash he can sit there another week.
petracca is a hold. averaging 86. melbourne has Saints, Suns & Carlton coming up, although i think he misses this week.

StevoRivo · 01/05/2018 at 16:48
Thanks Derek. Will wait on injury updates re Langdon. Yes, Garlett is next to go.

Sellars1226 · 02/05/2018 at 09:33
Get Crouch next week, pretty sure he's going to drop again

StevoRivo · 02/05/2018 at 15:13
So how about trading this week Holman & Landgdon to Zerrett (M7) & Cole via dpp swings?
Next week considering Garlett & Banfield to Crouch & Spargo.

Brim_Cat · 02/05/2018 at 15:20
Id trade banfield before holman, but good moves mate

SC_Kev7 · 01/05/2018 at 16:33
Personal choice on how you feel about taking rookies that aren’t yet on the bubble

Josh · 01/05/2018 at 07:49
If he stops being a flog and getting suspended I think he’s as safe a bet as anyone

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 09:42
With Zac Dawson retiring last year, it does open the door for someone else in my top 6 defenders.
I think there are 4 who stand out at the moment and pick themselves: Laird, Yeo, Hurley, Simpson.
the other two places could be from a group of 10-15 players. Sicily is averaging 104 as the 3rd highest defender so he is in that group.

Daniel Z · 01/05/2018 at 10:28
Average? Yes.
Total? No.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 10:30
he will have a 22 at some stage this year when the opposition get under his skin.

Patch · 01/05/2018 at 20:59
Easy for me to say not having him but Zorko will – must – turn it around. Surely. Would hold him until last and upgrade around him, but that old logic has failed me in the past.
Still say the second option for now.

Dildor · 01/05/2018 at 08:43
Go look at his scores for the last few years, always has a quiet patch generally around the start of the year. After that he bangs out the scores, looks pretty similar this year IMO.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 09:50
JPK doesn't have a massive ceiling like some other players, and that is why his average have been around the 110. super consistent and durable. i honestly think his best SC days are behind him because of the speed of the game now and the less stoppages. however, this is probably more highlighted early in the season when everyone is fit and healthy and the grounds are hard and fast. Wait until everyone slows down a bit and the grounds become heavy, JPK will come again.
he is $441k!!!! how is this possible.
great value for someone who should average 105-110 for the rest of the season. Doesn't have a huge ceiling

FreddoFrog · 01/05/2018 at 18:05
Good thing he gets to play on the SCG because the other grounds don't get heavy. Etihad is the same in sub zero as plus 30 and Adelaide,Gold Coast and Perth drain faster than a superaccount after fees.
JPK looking like a dinosaur that you roll out for exhibition matches in Cairns or Darwin during the wet.

Dizzlekicks · 03/05/2018 at 16:40
Note though – after last weeks big game, he's a big chance to cop the dreaded Jacobs tag this week

FreddoFrog · 01/05/2018 at 18:44
JPK finishing like a Bull is a myth started by somebody else, in reality he has been SC poison for the last 5-years for SC coaches with finals dreams.
2017 he Didn't play at all in rounds 16,20 or 21 destroying the finals hopes of anybody who had him but if you excuse that, the final 6 games that he did play included a 50, 97 and 96. Hardly trouser stretching from one of your top mids.
2016 included 2-sub-100 games in the 4-weeks of SC finals
2015 he was a must have, ave 125 during SC finals with a low of 112 in the SC Semi-final
2014 he spat out a 39 in the SC elimation Final and missed the final 2-games (rested before actual finals)
2013 his final 6-games were 82,68, then SC finals-93, 136, 89, and 101 in the SC GF.
JPK is SC fools gold. Always has been and always will be.
He does OK in DreamTeam though I think

joe · 03/05/2018 at 22:05
Avoid like the plague. Last week was a virtuoso performance against a midfield setup with glaring problems, absences etc. Even then, he was utterly [email protected] for three quarters. Then, minus a concussed tagger, he went nuts. It's an irrelevant score.
Even at his best, he only averaged 109. Even after last week, this season's average is 84. That's the sort of numbers he was posting a decade ago.

Sana · 01/05/2018 at 15:01
Option 1. The other two options mean bringing in rookies early who could get injured/dropped before a price rise. If you already have Langdon out you don't want to risk more outs wihtout being able to make $$. And Mclean is dominating, a lock for top 6 fwds you'd have to think.

Dice_real · 01/05/2018 at 09:30
I'd go Oliver, I think his ceiling has gone up a little this season

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 09:57
i have Oliver locked in my top 7 mids. he has had a slow start to the year but is still averaging 111 (affected by the Jacobs tag in round 3) he a gun.

FreddoFrog · 01/05/2018 at 18:11
The worry is that he only got 89 (without a tag) on a day when Max had 42h.o and scored 168 in SC.
He appears to be very easy to push too close to the stoppage contest which results in a lot of the taps going over his head.
Duck Carey should be taking credit for identifying this any day now, just as soon as his assisstant reads this and checks to make sure that it's true.

Da Boysh · 01/05/2018 at 09:00
Sorry,
22 trades left before I make these trades XD

Da Boysh · 01/05/2018 at 10:16
i swear I am special bloody hell.. 22 trades AFTER I make these trades jesus…

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 10:28
i would HOLD this week.
team looks great. No major problems i can see.

Da Boysh · 01/05/2018 at 12:48
Thanks Derek!

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 10:01
you would pick Oliver just because he has Gawn playing in his team. Oliver is a gun. top 7 mid. contested beast. massive upside.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 10:13
melbournes next 10 games, they only play two teams who finished in the top 8 last year, Adelaide and Port.
Saints, Suns, Carlton, Crows, Dogs, Collingwood, Port, Saints (again), Fremantle, Dogs (again)…..

redherringfc · 01/05/2018 at 15:17
Merrett now, Oliver next week.

Da Boysh · 01/05/2018 at 10:17
Merrett is going to bounce back I say him

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 10:33
nice start to the season.

DavidSA · 01/05/2018 at 12:42
Grats mate and ty for not spamming the site on every thread too bonus!

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 13:55
Clearly has the community to thank, but just didn’t have the right words to express his gratitude.

joe · 01/05/2018 at 19:13
great side mod one of the best ive seen

MOD143 · 01/05/2018 at 19:17
Thanks Joe, Its been a huge help following community members like you to set up my season.

Patch · 01/05/2018 at 20:59
You ripper MOD!

TheGreatBozza · 01/05/2018 at 12:08
I'd say Oliver and Hurley for ceiling, but honestly can't go wrong with either of those 4 choices

DacZawson · 01/05/2018 at 12:37
I'd say by the end of the season, Heeney and Hurley most likely be top 3 in their position, so you'll definitely need them at some point
Disregarding price, I'd go Oliver and Heeney

SC_Kev7 · 01/05/2018 at 16:41
I’m sure you’re aware of the risks Sicily poses, KW. If you’re cool with that I’d cut Coffield

Rabbits16 · 01/05/2018 at 18:05
Im going Macrae. Playing brisbane and gold coast next 2 rds and he has a big average against those opponents

theRealPod · 01/05/2018 at 18:18
Oliver in better team, higher ceiling and he's a gun

redherringfc · 01/05/2018 at 15:14
I’m waiting for his price to drop. BE in the 180’s.
hoping in the next 3 weeks it goes Mitchell, Oliver, Dusty.

SideshowBob · 01/05/2018 at 20:27
Dusty not worth talking about yet, can't trade him out can't trade him in.
3 round ave of 106 dropped $50k over the past 2-weeks and predicted to drop another $30k this week then Next week he has Jacobs at etihad. If he scores 140 against Jacobs he'll only drop $10k if he scores 80 against Jacobs he'll drop another $30k.
So, he's not a top 10 mid over last 3 rounds and has three tough games coming, he's dropped over $50k in past 2-weeks and will drop another $40k-$60k over next 2-weeks.
Potentially get him for $540k after round 9

Goat · 01/05/2018 at 14:28
Wait on selections to see about ZGL's knee and which rookies seem secure but you might raise the cash to complete either of those trades through swapping him out early to a new earner.

TBone · 01/05/2018 at 13:40
Hey KSinny, that’s a pretty good plan mate. By any chance do you have enough cash to go Banfield to Howe via Finlayson dpp then trade Petracca (won’t be back this week) to R. Gray? Many downgrade options you can trade Holman to next week.
Alternatively if it works better for you bye structure, you could go Banfield to Yeo via Finlayson dpp, and Petracca to McLean. Good luck mate!

KSinny · 01/05/2018 at 15:37
Yeh was thinking the second option sounds good cheers

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 13:50
I would. Having Holman on field instead or Hurley doesn’t make a lot of sense. It’s all about scoring points and getting to full premium asap

Doc · 01/05/2018 at 13:52
Trade banfield instead

KSinny · 01/05/2018 at 11:31
Hold off on danger for at least another week or two, he still has a high break even and isn't scoring any better than players cheaper so I would wait for him to show some better form.

BadgerHoney7 · 01/05/2018 at 14:06
could also be good for spargo job security, both can play that small wing role.

DacZawson · 01/05/2018 at 12:39
I wouldn't mind Supercoach trialling an unlimited trade per week system.
Would mean that you'd have to be incredibly patient with how you use your trades.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 13:44
The EPL fantasy does that but for every trade more than 1 it cost points. Maybe we could buy a trade for $200k

Ahmad rubas · 01/05/2018 at 16:16
Yeah I like fpl for that reason because you can do well many different ways. One of the best fpl managers who is having a bad season this season has a very aggressive transfer strategy and takes many hits which hasn't paid off this season meanwhile another manager imo the best in the world is the complete opposite being patient and avoiding point hits. The thing I like about it is they are 2 very different strategies yet both produce amazing results

DacZawson · 01/05/2018 at 12:34
Grundy under an injury cloud and no point trading Nank at this point.
Go for the double upgrade

redherringfc · 01/05/2018 at 15:12
Naughton looks like he’s just coming good. I’d look at Banfield first.

JAZZA · 01/05/2018 at 21:09
I Like the trade get Naughton out i would go for Hurn i real POD there and i would get rid of Nank to his time is done very good trades i currently ranked 879 and thats pretty good but i think you will have a better team then me if u do those trades

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 13:41
I hope for your sake English isn’t rested this week. He looked tired last week.

BadgerHoney7 · 01/05/2018 at 12:28
safest is probably spargo at the moment, but worpel was also very good and looked like he had been around for years.

Crowboy94 · 01/05/2018 at 13:31
Just wait one more week and see who does better this week.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 13:38
Shields will be back soon, maybe even this week.

BadgerHoney7 · 01/05/2018 at 13:38
top 8 mid for sure, has been tagged but can beat it due to how big he his.

Ando · 01/05/2018 at 13:14
Alternatively I could get Deledio or Taranto, thoughts?

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 13:36
Delidio is a massive injury risk and Taranto will be affected when Kelly is back. Neither will be top 8

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 13:34
If you were to get Sicily you arn’t allowed to complain to anyone when he either gets suspended again or scores a 22 because the opposition got under his skin.
As a hawks fan I’ll be cheering him on, but he won’t be in my SC team…. I don’t think.

BadgerHoney7 · 01/05/2018 at 13:40
I think Sicily is safer than Taranto and Deledio, scores so far of 125, 110, 123 out of the four games hes played, I think that says enough.

Crowboy94 · 01/05/2018 at 14:27
I'm waiting one more week to cull Holman and banfield. Traded Stephenson to Cripps this week though

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 14:58
Nice. Banfield this week for me. Murray and Holman next week. Then look at Naughton Doedee and Finlayson.

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 17:15
What colour you thinking holty? Must be red and black?

JugHead · 01/05/2018 at 20:06
Gunna trade out Petracca this week down to a def rookie via Finlayson dpp and build the warchest. Then I can start painting with gold dust next week when there is better value. There will be bubble boys available and some low priced premos.

redherringfc · 01/05/2018 at 15:04
Get Hurley.

Crowboy94 · 01/05/2018 at 17:23
Will be back this week.

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 17:28
Not sure about that one crowboy, i think he'll miss again unforunately

Rabbits16 · 01/05/2018 at 18:06
whats his injury frozen?

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 18:16
'Sore' foot apparently. Chris scott likes to be a politician when he talks injuries. Could be back this week could be out a month, wait for team selections mate

Rabbits16 · 01/05/2018 at 18:06
thanks crowboy hopefully

Brim_Cat · 02/05/2018 at 15:17
Will miss this week, not too sure how long he is out though

Rabbits16 · 03/05/2018 at 14:06
bloody hell. carnage. firs franklin then petracca then parfitt. nasty fwds

Rabbits16 · 03/05/2018 at 14:06
oh and ZGL

Ja191 · 01/05/2018 at 15:55
I’d persoanlly go cripps and cole if you were looking to get danger in next week. Don’t know why you would be getting danger next week though – he will most likely lose more value in the coming weeks and pick him when he bottoms out. Wouldn’t trade him in til he shows some form

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 17:13
Neale will do well while Walters is out

BadgerHoney7 · 01/05/2018 at 16:25
such upsetting news, can't believe it.

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 16:36
Horrible news but it really makes you think how much of a part he had in the Essendon debacle a few years back. So many got dragged through the coals and Bomber seemed to get more of a slap on the wrist.

Deckcrow · 01/05/2018 at 17:05
that's you thinking is it Holty Hmmm Bomber and ASADA were in it together…..genius

Ross 'sexpest' lyon · 01/05/2018 at 17:06
Big difference between performance enhancing drugs and recreational drugs. He got a slap on the wrist because he wasnt the coach. Do you really think if he was to blame they wouldve made him coach?

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 17:32
Settle down lads. It is an opinion. He obviously has connections out there. Did not for one second say he was in it with ASADA. Just remember, he bought the weapon to Essendon. Who inturn Dank was employed by Essendon. The weapon was employed in 2007 by Geelong who had links with Dank. 2007 was the start of Geelongs fantastic run and who was coach at the time, Bomber. This may all be coincedence but he was the one responsible for bringing them to the club.

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 17:46
Trying to make excuses for cheating, dont bring geelong down to the level of your foolish club. Clearly an essendon supporter!

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 17:52
Lol and nope not a Essendon supporter. All im saying is he bought those 2 to the club. Geelong have never been found guilty of anything so innocent before proven guilty.

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 17:56
So then hes to blame because hes in charge of everything at the club as an assistant coach. Wonder why he got such a slap on the wrist…

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 18:13
Once again ill say this one more time. He was involved in bringing those 2 to the club. Yes he was not the coach but he was still part of the saga. If you have knowledge of what is going on, you are just as much to blame.

Pete · 01/05/2018 at 18:51
Theres no proof him or hird knew they were cheating. Hird got a harsher punishment due to being the head coach. Whether or not bomber played a part in them coming to the club is irrelevant. This also has nothing to do with what Thompson was charged with today!

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 19:32
You are right it doesnt. But what has happened today must certainly question his credibility? It was the duty of care for their players (especially the younger ones who probably had no say) which is the issue. Yes they said they didnt know what they were taking was not legal but at the same time had no idea what they were taking.

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 17:57
If i got you a job, and you got caught stealing from the worksite who would be to blame? Me or you?

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 18:19
It would depend if you had knowledge of me stealing and you did nothing about it!

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 18:26
Well obviously! But thats just the point theres no proof bomber knew they were cheating and said 'ah well, lets hope they dont catch us'. To say that both him and hird shouldve had the same punishment is just nonsense!

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 19:15
Where did i say Bomber deserved the same punishment as Hird? Plus Bomber did know. He came out and said he knew what was going on and didnt support it. But didnt do anything about it either. No point going on about this as its not sc relevant at all. We will agree to disagree.

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 22:01
I apologise, you didnt say they deserve the same punishment but you said bomber was as much to blame as hird, which i disagree with as he wasnt the head coach. Most of what you have said is correct just didnt agree with what you were implying in your first message.Like you said though agree to disagree, but nothing wrong with a bit of healthy banter! Good luck in SC this week champ!

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 22:17
And well said. Respect anyone who comes back with a reply like that. Everyone will have an opinion and not everyone will agree. As long as you can have some banter and still have a beer together afterwards its all worth it.

Phil · 01/05/2018 at 18:33
Neither have Essendon….#justsaying

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 17:17
Must've been selling ASADA some of his famous frozen water to keep them quiet, dont ya reckon holty?

BrownlowBoy · 01/05/2018 at 16:41

Make of this what you will.

Bells · 01/05/2018 at 20:01
Wow. Was he in product development? Seems to have been testing the product?

SC editor · 01/05/2018 at 18:05
How is this SC relevant?

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 19:56
Sorry mate. You are correct.

SC_Sixty6 · 01/05/2018 at 21:05
Jog on flog.

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 22:02
Couldnt have said it any better sixty6!

SC editor · 02/05/2018 at 07:03
How is this SC relevant, and why are being rude..again?

Russty_ · 01/05/2018 at 23:19
Pretty sad day for Footy, I used to enjoy his comments on AFL360..apparently they found his DNA all over several different types of drugs and drugbags, really sad news.

JohnDJ59 · 02/05/2018 at 01:18
He could have at least worn gloves.

FreddoFrog · 01/05/2018 at 18:14
Listed as a test in today's injury update

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 17:10
If Ryder doesn’t play, my boy Lycett might be in for a nice day out….. oh, so might NicNat.

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 16:48
Wh will be in my side at some point mate. Would scare me going into finals without him

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 17:06
he Says he is 50/50. I think he will miss, real nasty.
Have a look at Melb next 10 games! Only play 2 top 8 teams, including Saints and Dogs twice.

The Morman · 01/05/2018 at 17:35
Fair enough point Derek. Gee you do your research and I like reading what you have to say.
If he misses this week he is out. He has scored only one hundred!

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 17:26
I would hold him if you can, reckon he only just misses this week. But if you have to trade him cripps is a good pickup!

neil demonsdelight · 01/05/2018 at 19:15
Hi Morman sorry about the language on my front door. Petracca . is way down my demon pecking order as far as s c goes . Just too slow for mids and doesn.t kick enough goals I think McDonald will absolutely kick arse. Now that Balic is injured it shores up Spargo's J S even more. At training Viney looks sharp may play this week against COLAC under 10's. Sorry Gat and Russty.. but it's a real opportunity for HIBBERD to find form also cheers N D D

The Morman · 01/05/2018 at 20:33
Thanks a Neil. What about Hibberd? He has dropped over 100K and still averaging 78 and is projected to lose another $16K. If he does ok again this week I might grab him. What do you think especially as Derek pointed out that the ‘D’s’ have a good draw over the next few weeks.

hedski · 01/05/2018 at 20:35
Hibbo could be a nice cheap option soon Morman, more to the point tho, how good is a nice VB after work? Delicious.

neil demonsdelight · 01/05/2018 at 22:21
Enjoy it while you can HEDSKI

neil demonsdelight · 01/05/2018 at 22:14
Unlike many others I think he is top 6.Salem.s out helps him loads

Sc_Wow · 02/05/2018 at 08:14
Wait for him to drop another 70 and you’ll change your mind

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 17:23
Cant see him keeping his average as high as it is, he is bound to cop a tag some weeks. He does look a nice POD though, trust your gut jordan!

Sam_01 · 01/05/2018 at 17:58
I’ve had him from the start 110 average top ten mid 2 years ago last year was a shocker for him. Pies are playing good footy at the moment and if it continues the rest of the year wouldn’t be surprised to see him hit 115 average looks to have cleaned up his game and so have the pies! Also he loves to thump Brisbane almost thinking of captaining him this week!

theRealPod · 01/05/2018 at 18:19
He's looking very good worth the risk

Lazza · 01/05/2018 at 18:48
Nah. Shite haircut.. 🙂

BrownlowBoy · 01/05/2018 at 19:18
His disposal is a lot better this year. Burnt me last year.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 21:41
He is almost $600,000. That is a lot of dollars

TheGreatBozza · 02/05/2018 at 12:59
I wouldn't go him for now. Think there's better value elsewhere. Could bring him in post bye at a similar price

Sana · 01/05/2018 at 17:14
Lids!

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 17:21
No chance, not taking that risk! Have narrowed my choices down to these 2.

KSinny · 01/05/2018 at 17:15
Sicily is very good but I would go with McLean so you don't have to be benching him every few weeks.

Pete · 01/05/2018 at 18:58
Tough one maybe sic for some value

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 17:47
Thats the big question. How much time in the midfield will he get for the rest of the season? If i was told he would spend the rest of the season in the midfield id be selecting him right now

theRealPod · 01/05/2018 at 18:10
They played the Blues so maybe watch him one more week

The Ranger · 01/05/2018 at 18:42
Can't trust him at the moment Rick

Lazza · 01/05/2018 at 18:58
Although BE is 99, put him on the watch list.

INPieman · 01/05/2018 at 18:12
Like the Toby switch my friend. Jelwood also looking good

hedski · 01/05/2018 at 19:36
So p!ssed I picked Billings over good Toby.

The Ranger · 01/05/2018 at 18:42
Nice trades Hedski.
I got Walters to deal with and Flog James is making eyes at me.

hedski · 01/05/2018 at 19:35
Give him a wink Ranger, SURELY, he keeps his head on now??!

neil demonsdelight · 01/05/2018 at 19:42
Jelwood to fly home.Sicflog is risky but worth it I hope

hedski · 01/05/2018 at 19:46
I started Siciflog so riding that train home Neil, until he becomes my 7th injury next week.

SideshowBob · 01/05/2018 at 22:52
Do they have flights from Geelong to Bendigo?

Patch · 01/05/2018 at 22:01
It's okay I'm currently going behind Lekdog's back to get my rose to Zach Merrett so you're safe… for now…
Good Toby is far better than Flog Toby and I think you're making an excellent move, mi amigo. Love to hear you're enjoying el podcasto!

hedski · 01/05/2018 at 22:34
Buenos nachos

Russty_ · 01/05/2018 at 23:17
Margaritas!

Westy · 02/05/2018 at 05:34
Toby or not Toby, that is the question (and the answer).

Shake_n_Bake_ · 02/05/2018 at 08:59
Started with Selwood myself Hedski. So far so good. Was playing hurt last few weeks but saying he should be over that. Lets hope for some big scores from here out.

Pete · 01/05/2018 at 18:43
If you think he has decent JS, for what its worth i dont

Crowboy94 · 01/05/2018 at 19:09
Why do you think that? Johnson came back last week who was the one most people thought would come in for Duman. But Lyon seems to want to play both, and he is being very patient with rookies this year.

CheekyNandos7 · 01/05/2018 at 20:25
The return of Johnson meant a drop in Duman's output as well btw 🙂

Crowboy94 · 01/05/2018 at 21:57
So when everyone needs to downgrade DEF rookies in coming weeks who will they go to?? No DEF rookies in the 2s for most clubs are making a name for themselves. Duman may be one of very few….

Pete · 01/05/2018 at 22:30
That is fair point crowboy! Mihocek and stoddard still yet to debut but who knows if/when that will happen. Duman could be a good pick, only time will tell

Pete · 01/05/2018 at 22:31
Wce have more talls than most, would wait for teams. If named he will be a popular pick !

INPieman · 01/05/2018 at 18:12
I like option 2

theRealPod · 01/05/2018 at 18:14
Option 2 both potential top 6 players

Filth Wizard · 01/05/2018 at 18:21
Cheers would still have 25 trades left after that deal.

Phil · 01/05/2018 at 18:37
I like option 3

Pete · 01/05/2018 at 18:57
Id go howe, but whichever fits your bye structure better

Lazza · 01/05/2018 at 19:01
Howe price to go up this week so is a buy, Savage will drop, wait a week. Make your decision!

neil demonsdelight · 01/05/2018 at 19:19
Not a contest imo… Howe goes big

Lazza · 01/05/2018 at 18:52
Won’t know for another day … in moonboot… could be 2, 4 or 6 weeks. The problem is he missed a lot of pre-season, then a hammy and now this … Coach said he doesn’t have the work into him they require for him to impact .. being off his feet I reckon he will be a month at least.

INPieman · 01/05/2018 at 19:12
It's too hard getting injury info from GWS. If I had him I'd get rid of him

Bells · 01/05/2018 at 19:50
Certainly looks like a case of leprosy. But we'll have to wait on the formal diagnosis.
The rather obscure afl.com says might train today – so you'll have to keep an eye out later in the week I reckon. Must be close.

Holty01 · 01/05/2018 at 20:33
I love this mate as i have noone in those sides running through the mids

BIG BROTHER · 01/05/2018 at 19:06
It's time to go……Banfield

Adam · 01/05/2018 at 19:57
Yep bye bye, but who to get 🤷‍♂️

Pete · 01/05/2018 at 19:07
It's time to go…..Billings

Borko · 02/05/2018 at 18:52
In the same boat … both have to go eventually I think. Billings to Mundy this week, Jacobs to Grundy in 2-3 weeks when prices are a bit more favourable. I know they are sideways-ish but they are not looking like top for their positions. Worked out I can do this, get to full premo and have 3 trades for injuries for the rest of the season. Tight but just can't cop their scores any longer.

Brim_Cat · 03/05/2018 at 00:04
Have them both as well mate, mcgovern also 🙁 im just going to work around them, easier sorting them out once at full premo

Patch · 01/05/2018 at 22:02
I spoke about him last week on the pod, Tristan. I'm not sure he keeps the output going when the big boys return to that midfield and push him into the backline, and for that reason I'm steering clear. Love the thinking though

INPieman · 01/05/2018 at 19:15
I'd keep Buddy & find another way to get Heeney. Not many Fwds with a 102 Av. You'd want him back at later for sure. The Fwds with good averages almost makes me want to puke

DavidSA · 01/05/2018 at 19:32
How about 3 Saints in defence averaging 90, 95, 98 lol would almost have to pick one of them as a D6

DavidSA · 01/05/2018 at 19:37
Man I don't know how to help you on your troubles
Best to go sideways Walters > Mundy, McLean
Billings is shot but I think you just gotta ride it out and make him last corrective (hope he does not get dropped)

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 21:39
Get the other Tom Lynch

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 22:07
Depends if you are going for rank or league. Would think it would be smarter to hold trac, unless you are going for rank and dont have any other issues

Defying_Madness · 01/05/2018 at 20:42
Makes bringing him in awkward now. Once his price tanks you would have to bring him in at round 11 or 12 right before his bye

BlueBaggerJosh · 01/05/2018 at 20:53
at least i can turf billings sooner without having to fork out serious dough.

Ja191 · 01/05/2018 at 20:26
Yeah he’ll prob be back this week only reason he’s been rested longer is because gws have played shite teams

Ryano · 01/05/2018 at 20:56
I would hold him considering how long its been but interested to see what others think!

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 22:09
Youve already held him, whats 1 more week. Good chance hes back this week or next anyway

dontblushbaby · 01/05/2018 at 20:32
I'm going Banfield for Cripps, I feel Holman has more to give if played in the mids

Whisper · 01/05/2018 at 20:56
Cripps is overrated

James · 01/05/2018 at 21:12
You're right, averaging 120 points is nothing

Whisper · 01/05/2018 at 22:12
See James agrees
Shit against the pies and north

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 22:14
Sorry whisper, bit off with that call. Would think there is a bit of sarcasm at play here

hedski · 01/05/2018 at 21:12
Na

hedski · 01/05/2018 at 22:38
Na hes not overrated.

Derek · 02/05/2018 at 10:20
Every league I play I’m getting beat by people who have Cripps. Not liking this.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 21:37
Worpel might struggle to hold his spot with Shields back this week

Sc_Wow · 02/05/2018 at 08:18
Why not do both trades next week? Will have more of an idea around JS, and bainfeild should make his 41 be

John · 01/05/2018 at 21:04
Nice team, consider trading in merret maybe?

IN Pieman · 01/05/2018 at 21:05
Consider Uping Christenson and Banfield to Premos with that cash

Valens_FC · 01/05/2018 at 21:17
Spank the rooster. Funny.

SC_Sixty6 · 01/05/2018 at 21:20
Yeh he had Franklin and Greene on the pine but a wins a win. He slipped out to 44k rank overall.
Sincerely disappointing after his essays earlier this season on his reasoning and perfect planning.

Valens_FC · 01/05/2018 at 21:33
Has he been banned? Haven’t seen him in ages.
66, if you were a cricketer I’d say “when he hits ‘Em, they stay hit”.

SC_Sixty6 · 01/05/2018 at 21:53
Haha good one Val! Not sure about his ban. Possibly with him making comments on multiple names like some flog still is atm. A troll actually made an account with my name, must want to get in on my reputation and hope people reply to him.
I do hope rooster returns, but if not goodluck to him in SC for the rest of the season.

Rick Grimes · 02/05/2018 at 08:11
Or perhaps they'd say he's not playing in the spirit of the game and needs a good banning…

Valens_FC · 02/05/2018 at 09:37
Touche. Look I don’t think being humble is among 66’s strongest qualities but from what I’ve seen he’s adjusted and keeping on the right side of the line now. Yes he can stir the pot to get a reaction but he’s sticking to matters SC albeit in his own unique style. Perhaps he can be thought of as the aggressive fast bowler banging it in short?

SC_Sixty6 · 02/05/2018 at 14:19
Val! My full name is Sixtyhumble6

Doc · 01/05/2018 at 21:52
Would you be holding Greene as well? Started with what I thought would be 6 keepers in attack so would only be fielding 1 forward rookie for a while but would allow me to trade in Oliver and Macrae this week?

Doc · 01/05/2018 at 21:53
Also asking as I've seen you have a bit of info with GWS players. Cheers

SC_Sixty6 · 01/05/2018 at 21:54
Give Greene the flick mate. Very under done and even if he's back in he will probably snot someone. Won't be back for 2 weeks.

Doc · 02/05/2018 at 12:53
Much appreciated

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 21:35
I didn’t know Heath was in doubt?

SC_Sixty6 · 01/05/2018 at 21:49
Yeh mate. Bruised shin. Struggled in second qtr but battled out rest of the match.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 22:08
thanks. I’m sure the Swans will miss him

TOPHAWK1 · 01/05/2018 at 22:10
You got him. Love it.

Defying_Madness · 01/05/2018 at 22:25
lmao

SC_Sixty6 · 01/05/2018 at 23:04
Just put Stoddart on mate. All good.

Daniel Z · 02/05/2018 at 01:18
Is Tippett worth a punt? Huge POD.

Finnius · 01/05/2018 at 21:47
not mine.

KSinny · 01/05/2018 at 21:16
He hurt his knee and was off for a while which would have affected his scoring quite a bit.

Derek · 01/05/2018 at 21:32
got injured

SC_Sixty6 · 01/05/2018 at 21:26
Smart. Can only hope when he's back he bangs out a 120 before everyone jumps on him.

NoLanguage · 02/05/2018 at 00:54
I'm hanging onto him to JimBob. I'll wear 2-3 on the pine for a player of his quality, looks really good this year!

Tiger · 02/05/2018 at 10:48
I keeping him too. Works well for me as freo play later in rounds 7-8 & 10. Comes in handy for my v/c captain options and loopholing any good scores on my mid/fed becch. Plus saving a valuable trade. The only downside I see is with Taberner out for so long Walters will play more fwd thus reducing his midfield minutes. Maybe loss of points? Time will tell.

Tiger · 02/05/2018 at 10:51
Bloody auto correct. Mid/fwd bench.

Lazza · 02/05/2018 at 11:43
I’m keeping him too given the latest prognosis suggests only a couple of weeks out..

Frozen water bomber · 01/05/2018 at 21:49
Banfield —> merrett/mccrae/jpk or another premium mid
Billings —>mclean or sic

Gazza · 01/05/2018 at 22:10
is merret gonna stay consistent? He's so cheap so tempted to get him in!! Is billings worth trading now though?

KSinny · 01/05/2018 at 22:14
There's a reason Zerret was worth 600k at the start of the year.

Ryano · 01/05/2018 at 22:11
Mundy

TOPHAWK1 · 01/05/2018 at 22:22
I love Robbie Gray as a footballer. All class.
When fully fit and in the midfield he is sublime and a SC beast.
If you can handle his round 10 bye, he would be my pick.

Derek · 02/05/2018 at 10:13
Gray and Ryder after their round 10 bye.

Russty_ · 01/05/2018 at 23:15
3 looks good to me NL, Walters may only be out for 2 weeks so you might regret trading him out, 3 is a nice fence paint.

NoLanguage · 02/05/2018 at 00:51
Cheers Rust, yeah seems as though 2-3 is a better prognosis for Walters. Was playing good footy too so happy to hold him

Russty_ · 02/05/2018 at 01:54
Hey NL, 3 might be hard to take, could hurt but 2 would be better…I had Sicily from the get go and has produced some pain for me with 2 suspensions but sometimes holding is better, at least they don't lose cash when they're out.

Russty_ · 02/05/2018 at 00:09
Sounds good to me, trading a guy out if he could only miss a fortnight really sucks when he comes back and scores big.
Flogily is a risk but he can score…Spargo looked pretty good, just gotta hope he's not like Hannan from last year.

neil demons delight · 02/05/2018 at 08:41
Doing the same BEEN. walters will still be value don't know about flog though risky

BeenHereBefore · 02/05/2018 at 10:37
Unfortunately dont have the funds to pick up mclean so the flog will have to do haha

Derek · 02/05/2018 at 09:36
Sicily is a chance to be a keeper in Defence.
Treloar is expensive
Delidio is very likely to miss games. Also his last two weeks have been a result of Kelly being out of the team.
I’d go Sicily out of those 3, hard to compare as all have different positions

Captain Risky · 02/05/2018 at 09:40
Delidio ruled out with injury for this week already…

Derek · 02/05/2018 at 10:11
Lol

Belly button fluff · 02/05/2018 at 14:06
Lek must have just traded him in.

Derek · 02/05/2018 at 09:30
Team looks good. Do you have a question? How much cash? League or rank? Etc

blakeyboi · 02/05/2018 at 17:50
6k and top 3%

Lazza · 02/05/2018 at 11:41
1 to 2 weeks according to Swans website

Derek · 02/05/2018 at 13:16
Taranto going well, but you have to consider his one bad score came the only week when He, Kelly and Hopper all played.
You would think his scoring will drop once Kelly comes back

Tibor · 02/05/2018 at 13:33
Well done. I reckon Merrett rewards your faith and resistance of the Sicily move is absolutely the smart call

Cogla13 · 02/05/2018 at 13:30
Probably Walters. Greene has been confirmed out again but you've held him this long.

Lazza · 02/05/2018 at 14:09
Move Greene on.
Walters will be back sooner. Green is unfit, having an interrupted pre-season and again in-season. He will be given time to regain match fitness. He has a hot spot in his foot – not good (and one in his head) could be a month, likely longer.

BeenHereBefore · 02/05/2018 at 12:56
3 and Crouch

Sully321 · 02/05/2018 at 13:21
go 3

Sc_Wow · 02/05/2018 at 13:57
Fisher caddy and Deledio are all players I’d avoide

John · 02/05/2018 at 15:10
Delideo out

Defying_Madness · 02/05/2018 at 15:27
Murray up to Yeo or Hurley if you can afford him. Hold Walters

Brim_Cat · 02/05/2018 at 15:44
Footywire has all players breakevens mate

Wedge · 02/05/2018 at 15:48
54

Gav · 02/05/2018 at 15:52
Thanks blokes

Ja191 · 02/05/2018 at 17:46
you've held him this far you have to hold. No point holding him this long to get rid of him, rest could do him world of good and he could come back firing

joe · 03/05/2018 at 22:13
Completely disagree. If you haven't made many trades, it's sideways time. JKelly has a 'mystery' injury near the groin and, like a foot injury or a third hamstring, that means trouble for the rest of the season. They were saying it was just a week three weeks ago. He's going to be at least two more weeks away and, when they bring him in, it will be gently – low game time, letting Cogs continue to lead the way.
I can't see him making up the 200 points that Titch will make you even if he does come back on schedule, in full form etc.

PJ King · 02/05/2018 at 21:18
Maybe trade out Murray and bring in Duman. Then use the extra cash to beef up your forward while Greene is injured. Upgrade your most expensive forward rookie to a premo like Heeney, McLean, or Gray, or if money is tight Acres or Taranto.
I've got Sicily, Walters, and Billings in my team, and unless they get seriously injured, it will stay that way. Keep Greene unless he is ruled out for the mid to long term.
A friend of mine has Deledio. I told him to bench him because GWS are taking no chances with his fitness and resting him for one week.

Doesn't matter if you already have Fyfe, if you think he will average 110+ for the rest of the season, go for it.

PJ King · 02/05/2018 at 21:33
Selwood looks good, but what about Mundy or Polec? Those guys are in your range, have low ownership and are doing better than Neale in terms of total points.

PJ King · 02/05/2018 at 21:55
Yes, hold!! Deledio will be back next week I reckon. GWS are in "over-protective mother" mode with Deledio (as you would expect). Wait until he gets injured for real before trading him out.
Seriously mate, your forward line isn't bad. I'd look to upgrade Stephenson to a top 3 forward once you have more cash from a spent rookie downgrade.
If you traded out Holman and swing Finlayson to mid, you could trade in Duman and then have enough cash to upgrade Stephenson to Heeney, McLean, Mundy, or Robbie Gray.

One flog to another? Computer says no.

PJ King · 02/05/2018 at 22:14
You need some bench cover up forward. Upgrade Fogarty to a top 6 premo and bench Crowden if Petracca plays.

Russty_ · 02/05/2018 at 23:39
No offence ???????, but I don't understand how this is your team now and you only have 23 trades left, you must've been rage trading the last 7 times?
Kelly, Brodie, Barry, Bonner, Fogarty and Ahern probably shouldn't be there.
Start trading some bad/ injured players out for better choices mate…good luck.

Need to do one of the above to make an upgrade

DavidC · 03/05/2018 at 13:20
Richards has a high of 80 so he can score well. He hasn't earned enough cash to trade yet, JS is good, I'd hold and hope he pumps out another big score to generate cash for a couple of weeks and then trade. If you have to trade one I'd go Murray, BE is up to 54.

DavidC · 03/05/2018 at 21:59
Guelfi has been dropped. I think you have to trade Venables (or Walters).

PJ King · 03/05/2018 at 22:34
Maybe trade in ZGL for Venables. He got 60pts last week on 39% game time. Good JS too with all those Giant injuries.

DavidC · 03/05/2018 at 21:57
Surely Frisch plays after last week.

Brim_Cat · 03/05/2018 at 22:46
Guelfi rested. Petracca and fritsch under injury clouds, despite being named. You may need forward cover. Banfield –> mclean might save you from a donut

Russty_ · 03/05/2018 at 23:29
Maybe wait until you find out if he's playing first Jeff, tommorow around 5 pm.
